We were wondering why we were so productive this morning until we realized it was overcast and in the 70s.
The "Inferno" season we call it on (June-Aug) is a season that pretty much the rest of the country doesnt have. A season where on the farm we dont even check the weather anymore because we just know itll be humid, 95+ temperatues and lots of sun for at least these three months.
When we get days like this, we dont take it for granted. It was a team effort setting up trellises, prepping beds, seeding, transplanting, harvesting our summer fruits, planning out tomorrows CSA share and sitting down for our weekly farm team meeting.
Grateful for some rain, cloud cover, a great team and a full day

Thanks to all our amazing #volunteers for coming out and sharing a bit of their energy with us on a hot day. This time of year is all about staying on top of the #weeds and catching up on parts of the farm that lost our attention for a bit.
As promised to the volunteers, heres the weeding #beforeandafter. Weeding before and afters are always so gratifying

I'm finally getting around to posting about The Forage + Gather farm dinner at @finca_tres_robles at the end of October! It was such a beautiful event and I wanted to make sure I shared how lovely it was! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chef Sky Hanka and her amazing team made a delicious and crazy- local dinner. Kristen and Josh Rosas foraged wild ingredients, B Holleran for crafting delicious desserts, Sierra Estes for creating beautiful ceramic serving platters, Sigma Brewing Co. for providing their local craft beer, and so many other folks contributed to make the dinner run beautifully.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, the evening wouldn’t have happened without Ceci Norman bringing everyone together!

If you’re out and about today, you should definitely drop by the in-site market at Finca Tres Robles to buy some veggies, or go see Zay at the @urbanharvesthouston farmers market.

Growing produce is only a piece of what we do at our #farm. #Farming is a tool that can be utilized to #impact so many critical aspects of our #community; today the farm is serving as a #TeachingTool as we get our hands dirty with this group of @breakthroughhouston students
